Jupiter Artland is a unique, award-winning sculpture collection 12 miles outside Edinburgh, housing the private art collection of Robert and Nicky Wilson across 100 acres of woodland and meadows. Jupiter Artland is a registered charity, committed to nurturing the work of outstanding contemporary artists and continuing to commission new site specific works. Jupiter Artland opened to the public in May 2009 and in the same year received the prestigious Glenfiddich ‘Spirit of Scotland’ Art Award. Since 2009, Jupiter has commissioned over 30 site-specific permanent works by top-class international artists, including major pieces by leading contemporary sculptors including Nathan Coley, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Laura Ford, Anya Gallaccio, Andy Goldsworthy, Antony Gormley, Charles Jencks, Anish Kapoor, Jim Lambie, Cornelia Parker and Marc Quinn. Each artwork’s specific site has been personally selected by the artist. The works are set within the gardens of Bonnington House, a 17th century Jacobean hunting lodge, and visitors are encouraged to walk freely through the gardens to discover the artworks at their own pace
